Integron in Gram negative bacteria: Classes and fitness cost
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 Bacteria intrinsically harbor methods of gene exchange that are distinct from those in eukaryotes, but subject to natural selection laws. Dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is one of the major consequences of gene exchange ability.

Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria differ in their sensitivity to cold plasma
Scientific Reports, 2016 Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma (CAP) is a relatively new method being investigated for antimicrobial activity. However, the exact mode of action is still being explored.

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

Distribution and Prevalence of Bacteria Found on the Door Handles of Olin Hall, Drake University [PDF]
, 2011 Mentor: Chinh DaoFomites are inanimate objects that serve in the spread of infectious disease. Our hypothesis was that door handles may aid in the spread of microbes between individuals and that they may be a reservoir of microbial contamination.

DISTRIBUTION OF R-FACTORS IN GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1981 A total number of 259 gram negative bacteria (entero-bacteria) isolated during the years 1973-1974 was examined. These strains were isolated from sick children referred and or hospitalized in a children hospital in Tehran. The strains consisted of ; 131E.
